Feels Like I'm Living

I went to bed last night with this design in my head, my fingers literally tracing it in the air as I drifted off to sleep.

I woke up with it still in my head.

I mean I woke up at 5am with it still in my head. 5:00 am and this thing was burning itself in my brain, the way the wire would bend - all one piece, the way the negative spaces would be filled with antique papers, the exact dimensions, everything. It would not go away.

And along with the design, this song by Third Day was stuck in my head. Playing again and again:

I was lost when you found me hereAnd I was broken beyond repair

Then you came along and you sang your song over me

It feels like I'm born againIt feels like I'm livingFor the very first time

I've a feeling in my soul And I pray that I'm not wrong That the life I have now, it is only the beginning

It feels like I'm born again It feels like I'm living For the very first time I'm living for the first time It feels like I'm breathing It feels like I'm moving For the very first time I'm living for the first time In my life

Sometimes you just have no choice. I had other pieces waiting to be finished but "Feels Like I'm Living" needed to be made. Feels good.

If you're interested in purchasing check it out at OPF Studio - along with the following two pieces just finished up from the Marvelous Light series.
